Raindrops fall vertically at 7.5 m/s relative to the Earth. What does an observer in a car moving at 20.2 m/s in a straight line

measure as the velocity of the raindrops? (Assume the car is moving to the right and that the +x-axis is to the right. Enter the magnitude in m/s and the direction in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

Answer:

vDP = 21.7454 m/s

θ = 200.3693°

Explanation:

Given

vDE = 7.5 m/s

vPE = 20.2 m/s

Required:  vDP

Assume that

vDE to be in direction of - j

vPE to be in direction of i

According to relative motion concept the velocity vDP is given by

vDP = vDE - vPE     (I)

Substitute in (I) to get that

vDP = - 7.5 j - 20.2 i

The magnitude of vDP is given by

vDP = √((- 7.5)²+(- 20.2)²) m/s =  21.7454 m/s

θ = Arctan (- 7.5/- 20.2) = 20.3693°

θ is in 3rd quadrant so add 180°

θ = 20.3693° + 180° = 200.3693°

What is the number of waves that pass a fixed ping in a given amount of time?
Viktor [21]
The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time is wave frequency. Wave frequency can be measured by counting the number of crests (high points) of waves that pass the fixed point in 1 second or some other time period. The higher the number is, the greater the frequency of the waves. :)
